How to change home page content in DNN while creating a site itself.
I need to change different page. I created a new page and created Template. And I replaced inside Templates folder named (Default. page. template). But it is not working out. Provide me a better solution.
Probably the easiest way to do this is to create a site using the default template, edit that site to create your own site, and then save that as a site template (suitable named). You can then use that site template to create sites with the page structure that you want.
The default page template (I believe) is used when you create new pages using the the Pages UI. I don't believe that the default page template is used by the default site template.
If you have created a page and would like to apply a specific page template to the new page retroactively. To do this, go to the page that you want to change and append ?ctl=ImportTab to the url. That will bring up a dialog that allows you to change the emplate for a page with lots of options. It

I'm looking to edit Drupal's admin pages.
Some of the things I'm trying to achieve:
Remove is the the filter setting on the Content page/node/view. In other words, if I go to to the Content page and I filter by a certain type of node, then I leave that page, then come back, the filter setting is saved, I'd like it to reset each time I visit the Content page.
I would like to modify some of links associated with these pages, as an example on that Same Content page, the titles of the pages are linked to their 'front-end' views, I'd rather have them link to their 'edit' screens.
While I have been successful in modifying the front-end theme of Drupal, by editing the actual php files. I can't find the the same php files for the Admin theme. In our case we are using Seven (7.21). I've read something about views, and thought maybe the entire Admin theme is built as views, aka there no php files involved like the front-end theme has, but under the Views section I did not find any either. I'm still pretty new at this and coming from the Wordpress world, this is a Drupal is a lot different.
The logic for that section of the admin area is at (from the public root):
/modules/node
Specifically "node.admin.inc"
That being said, I don't recommend editing core scripts, as they will be overwritten when you update the core.
You could explore making your own module to supplement that page, or your own view or explore some pre-made modules, such as "Admin Views"
Find de view displayed and go to its configuration :
1 - Edit configuration view like suggested here : https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/44440/how-to-remember-exposed-filter-choices
2 - Rewrite output views to rewrite link : field https://www.drupal.org/node/1578524
Another option is to create and use your own dashboard/views to achive like you want http://definitivedrupal.org/suggestions/creating-custom-administrator-view-content
also you can see contrib module : https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_views
You don't have to use that default content overview page at all. Make your own instead:
Make a page view (you have to install views module if you already did not: https://www.drupal.org/project/views) and use table layout. Make sure that page paths starts with "admin" so it will use admin theme. Also pay attention about permissions, so only specific set of users (admins) can use it.
For that view you can freely select what columns you what to show. You can also allow ordering by any column and action if you click on some field.
Use exposed filters to add filtering form, again add any filters you need. You can even set the form to use AJAX, to do auto-submit when some filter field is changed, include reset button and more. Also for every exposed filed you can select (at fields settings) should it remember it's value or not.
At end, edit admin menu and add your new page to it so it will look and act as default one but will offer much more functionality. You can even totally remove default one from the admin menu.
Views module is very powerful, not only for front-end but also for back-end content handling.
I created a page within dnn (v9.0.2, 2sxc 8.12.0) with all modules (only 2sxc content modules) like the page design had defined it. After this I created a template from this page. After this I created a couple of sites using this template.
My problem is, if I change the content of module A on page 1 - all modules A on the other pages 2..n of this template have this content now too. Same effect, if I use the duplicate functionality.
Does anyone have a hint how to use page temlating using 2sxc content modules?
What you need to do is open the template file in an editor and locate the section that describes the module. The best way to do this is to find the EntityId of the content item on the page from which you created the template. Then, find that number string in the template. Just remove the string, leaving the XML node otherwise intact.
When you build the page, you'll get a 2sxc module that is uninitialized and you'll need to specify the content.
If anyone is listening, I wish that this behavior was different. I'd prefer that the template assigned to the module could be preserved, but with the default content showing.
Basically the issue is that DNN has only one way to export a page, and we would need something where our code could contribute something before the export is complete.
At the moment there are two ways to do this.
One way is to use the method described by Joe, modifying the XML export
The other way is to place un-initialized blocks on the template page - meaning that you select your content-type / template, or your app, but don't start adding any content yet. This should result in the identical XML as the one modified manually.
I'm new to Joomla, I'm using 3.3.6. My customer wants a landing page which looks absolutely nothing like the rest of the site.
I asked "how to create a custom page in Joomla". a while back. The answer was great, and now I have completed a template which looks awesome. My only problem is, I need to assign this template to index.php not just to some sub page on a menu. Can I do this?
You could create another menu that won't be visible in the frontend, assign the template there and make it default (in order to be shown as frontpage).
I am editing an app developed using MEAN framework. I have footer.html from views, and I have just put a link like:
<li>Privacy Policy</li>
Then I have created a html page inside views folder, named privacy.html.
When I click on the footer it does show up. It works well with the other link and page there, which is FAQ. What I am doing it wrong? Is there anything else I need to code or use controller to get the new page shown.
I would like to make sub pages under and existing page. Lets say the page is "Success Stories" and under this page the user can enter in other pages and format them any way they want. What I need is a way to make a repeater of all these subpages with stuff like the page title, a little bit of the content, and a button that links to the actual page.
Is this possible out of the box? I am willing to buy a module if it is reasonable;however a Google search returned no results.
Thank you.
The best option I know is Child Links from Ventrian.
You can show all children with title and description & links. (NOTE: description is Page description NOT content from the page.)
what version of dotnetnuke are you using?
Two options:
ONE
There is a copy page function where you can choose what modules and setting to copy to the new page.
Under the pages menu - click copy page
then you can select what page to copy from, and then it will list all modules on that page. You can choose to copy the module with or without content or even reference the module on the source page.
TWO
Other than that you can create a page template that a user can select that is pre-designed by you. Create the base page the way you want it and then click export page under the page / edit page menu depending on your version. A template will be created in your portal template folder that can be used when creating new pages.
If you are looking to automate this process, then you will have to look into a custom module or design a sql script you can run yourself (but this is a lot more maintenance as it can change with every version.)
